More support needed for ethnic minority children with special needs, charity says

A Hong Kong-based children's education organization, Heep Hong Society, is calling for the government to extend support services for preschool-aged ethnic minority children with special educational needs (SEN) to additional districts. This appeal follows a successful pilot project where 95% of participants demonstrated improvement. The organization highlighted that many ethnic minority families encounter significant obstacles in accessing SEN support, such as language barriers and financial limitations. The call for expanded services aims to address these challenges and improve outcomes for these children.
